Our Mission

Transforming the world through entrepreneurship. We believe that by giving people entrepreneurs the training, mentorship and capital they need to create a business, we can together transform communities, help people get out of poverty and create wealth and prosperity. We also believe in the power of co-creation and story telling. We ask each sponsoring donor, to donate $500 to help an individual entrepreneur startup their business. We then connect through them social media so they can support each other and share their stories with the world.

SeedingX also receives 10% equity in the new venture. The loans once repaid and equity returns are recycled back into the community to then invest in more entrepreneurs in the future, creating a virtuous cycle of entrepreneurship. Meanwhile we training the next generation of venture capitalists and entrepreneurs who together will create an ecosystem and future in the regions where we invest.
